There is space for the orphan girl in the rebirth era

Chapter 163 Maltose

The next morning, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the soles of her feet, and found that there was nothing serious about it, but she didn't plan to cut pigweed today, and her feet were too stuffy in cloth shoes, so she was afraid that the wound would become inflamed, so she still obediently stayed at home to rest for a day.

After lunch, Lu Xiaoxiao was sitting in the yard arranging the medicinal materials, and soon heard someone knocking on the door.

Lu Xiaoxiao opened the door and saw that it was the second sister, so she let her into the room to talk.

When she came to the room, Lu Xiaoxiao asked the second sister what was the reason for coming to her. The second sister did not speak but took out an oiled paper bag from her pocket and handed it to her. She took the second sister and handed it over to the oiled paper bag. It's maltose.

"Second Sister, where did you buy it? I've always wanted to eat this, but I haven't seen it sold anywhere."

"Hey... this is made by my mother. It's made from the wheat ears picked up in the autumn harvest. You can try it soon, it's delicious."

Lu Xiaoxiao took a small piece of maltose from the oil paper bag and put it into her mouth, a sweet taste hit her. It was not sweet like candy, but sweet with a faint scent of wheat.

The taste is hard to describe, and only those who have tasted it can understand. In short, this kind of sweet maltose with wheat fragrance cannot be produced by factory assembly line.

She had eaten this kind of maltose once in her previous life, and it was brought by a friend when she went on a trip. She always wanted to eat it but never saw it. She never thought that she would have the opportunity to eat it now.

"Second sister, this candy is delicious, your mother's craftsmanship is really good."

"I also think my mother is very good. I heard from her that she learned it from an old lady in the village when she was not married. Since she married my father, she has no chance to do it. This time she saw the ears of wheat we picked. I just remembered this craft, so I made it for us to eat."

"Second sister, go home and ask your mother if you can help me make this malt candy. I will pay for the wheat and pay for the handwork. Your mother will never make the work for nothing."

"You don't need to ask, my mother will definitely be willing to help you. You have been helping our family all this time. My parents have always felt sorry and wanted to do something for you for a long time."

Although the second sister said so, she definitely couldn't let them work for nothing. Since they don't want money, it's the same to give them other things when the time comes.

"Second sister, I will trouble your mother after the food is distributed."

"No trouble, then I'll go home first, and I have to go to school in the afternoon."

After sending away the second sister, Lu Xiaoxiao sorted out the remaining medicinal materials, and went back to the house to marinate the four pig's trotters that she bought yesterday at the supply and marketing cooperative. She planned to take them with the braised pork to the master and the others at night. The weather is cold now It won't go bad if left overnight.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Xiaoxiao came to the cowshed. When she got up, she saw the masters sitting in the room drinking tea and chatting, so she said, "Master, come quickly and see that I have brought you delicious food."

"We smelled it as soon as you entered the room, take it out and see what it is delicious." General Xie said.

"There are braised pork, braised pig's trotters and steamed buns. This time I brought more. Now that the weather is cold, I can eat them tomorrow."

The four people in the room swallowed unconsciously when they saw the meat on the table.

The few of them have always been carnivores. Since they came here, they have no chance or condition to eat meat. If it wasn’t for Xiao girl who occasionally brought some over for them to eat, they probably would have forgotten what meat tastes like. Looking at the table now Can they not be greedy for the colored and fragrant meat on the table?

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing when she saw the masters like this, and then said: "You can only eat a little to satisfy your cravings tonight, the meat is too greasy and eating too much at night is not good for your health and it is easy to accumulate food, so save it for tomorrow at noon .”

"You know, girl Xiao, we won't make fun of our bodies, so don't worry." Elder Fan said.

"Okay, then I'll go back first, I won't study here today, I'll go home and read by myself."

Seeing Xiao girl left, the four people in the room stopped pretending to be reserved, each of them took a steamed bun and didn't stop until they finished eating a plate of braised pork, then they looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
